Abstract

An electronic device for repeatable and accurate positioning of a camera after camera removal, or displacement by jarring or otherwise, is provided. The device includes a cover, a camera module, and a tray. The cover defines two spaced positioning blocks thereon. The tray includes a panel and two parallel sidewalls extending along a peripheral of the panel and perpendicular to the panel. A first adhesive sheet is utilized for adhering the tray to the cover. A second adhesive sheet is utilized for adhering the camera to the tray. The two inbuilt positioning blocks define two opposite openings. Two latching portions extend along the two parallel sidewalls and are perpendicular to the two parallel sidewalls. The two latching portions latch with the two openings, and the camera module is attachable on the panel of the tray.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An electronic device comprising:
 a cover including two spaced positioning blocks;   a camera module;   a tray comprising a panel and two parallel sidewalls perpendicularly extending from opposite ends of the panel;   a first adhesive sheet adhering the tray to the cover; and   a second adhesive sheet adhering the camera module to the tray;   wherein the two positioning blocks respectively define two opposite openings, two latching portions respectively extend perpendicularly from the two parallel sidewalls, the two latching portions engaging with the two openings, and the camera module is attached on the panel of the tray between the sidewalls.   
     
     
         2 . The electronic device as recited in  claim 1 , wherein a transparent lens window is formed on the cover, the camera module is aligned with the transparent lens window. 
     
     
         3 . The electronic device as recited in  claim 2 , wherein a first through hole, is defined in the first adhesive sheet and aligned with the transparent lens window, the first through hole has the same size as that of the transparent lens window, a second through hole is defined in the panel and aligned with the transparent lens window, the second through hole has the same size as that the transparent lens window, a third through hole is defined in the second adhesive sheet and aligned with the transparent lens window, the third through hole has the same size as that of the transparent lens window. 
     
     
         4 . The waterproof electronic device as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the first adhesive sheet is a double-sided adhesive tape. 
     
     
         5 . The waterproof electronic device as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the second adhesive sheet is a double-sided adhesive tape.
